Many villagers attended the dinner programme. He prepared chicken, mutton and egg rice. Ningaraj is not a rich man. He earns less, but his respect for his leader is amazing. Many villagers appreciated his gesture.”
Nimbannavar said, “I am a big fan of DK Shivakumar. I have been waiting for this moment. Finally he has become the CM, so I gave a party to all my fellow villagers.”
